WNBA's trans war threatens to spiral out of control as protestors plan more furious demonstrations in support of Sophie Cunningham
The Daily Mail ^ | July 31, 2026 | Ben Nagle

Sophie Cunningham's outspoken defense of women's sports has sparked a series of angry protests that show no sign of slowing down.

The Indiana Fever star's recent comments about 'protecting young girls' from transgender athletes in sports has created huge controversy on both sides of the arguments, leading to a series of anti-trans rallies outside WNBA arenas.

The Daily Mail can reveal that two further protests are being planned in the coming days, starting on Friday night outside the Portland Fire's Moda Center, where the Fever are due to play at 10pm EST.

On Sunday, Indiana travels to Minnesota to face the Lynx, where another demonstration has been slated ahead of the 1pm EST tip-off.

The planned rallies come just days after the issue exploded in Seattle, when a calm protest outside the arena was followed by a courtside meltdown from a Storm co-owner which led to her being suspended for five games by the team.

After two young girls brought in signs pledging their support for Cunningham and the 'protect women's sports' movement, Celeste Keaton allowed her temper to boil over when she confronted them and allegedly told them they were '****ing insane'.

“Women are so biologically inferior”

You didn’t really use that word, did you?

How about physically “Different” instead.

So competition that depends on physical traits could fairly be separate.

How can anyone support men in womens sports?

I think it goes back to the Supreme Court's disastrous ruling allowing same-sex "marriage". Most Democrats don't think for themselves. Add that to the media telling them over and over again that it's hip to be against anything that's good and decent.

There are only two possible stands to have:

You mean there are only two possible stands that make any sense.

It was a bad ruling for many reasons but they weren't going to stop there.

Obviously, the "issue" was not the issue.

Teenage girls shouting "Abolish ICE!", free speech..

Teenage girls silently holding up signs saying, "Thank you, Sophie Cunningham for standing up for girls", violent hate speech.

Got it.

Its a sick mental illness ideology. They really do believe that men can “become” women, and thus these dudes with dicks really are chicks, they actually believe that stupidity

The Seattle Storm needs its team name changed to the Windbag Juggalos.

She is also scrappier and not apologizing as well. That has always been a niche in sports.
